You would have to really study them.  I’m doing that now, and can ID some, but have a long way to go.  
 

Bessette’s book on Boletes of Eastern North America is the default bolete bible.   Pricey, but worth it. If you buy it, try to get the edition that came out this year ( there are three editions).  I’ve been comparing it to the last edition and there are a lot of changes.

I’d recommend also buying a chemical kit to check boletes.  Normally 3 eye dropper bottles, Ammonia, KOH and iron salts.  Dropping these on some boletes causes a color change where you dropped it.  Various colors occur, and it’s a helpful aid in identifying boletes.

I’d also recommend joining a local mushroom club.

And I know what you mean, we have boletes all over the place here in PA also.
